I was making a joke about how the email was dated back in August 2025, and how it’s being posted now (for April Fool’s Day). The comparison being that the email talked about waiting on IPv6 adoption since 1998.

But you’re right that using IPv4 locally makes sense. Ain’t no way I’m trying to remember a 128-bit address.

Kinda like ipv6 adoption, huh?

In systemd it would be optional. This post is about the OS making it a requirement to ask the user birthdate and using said optional field to store it.

To be fair, tasks would be much, much worse without skin.

I have. And I do. And unfortunately for me, it’s not. But at least I’m not suffocating in my sleep. 🤷‍♂️

I forget to breathe all the time. Especially when exercising and when sleeping. 🤷‍♂️

This is good for when the hardware is purchased second hand, or has become obsolete in the future.

I have an iPad I’m still holding onto with the hopes that one day it’ll be Linux worthy.

So yeah, buying new Mac hardware for linux doesn’t make sense. But that’s not the only use case.

It’s been a hot minute, but wasn’t what you’re referring to done by a third-party app? The original consoles had no real concept of a mouse by default, let alone copy/paste from highlighted text. Any highlighting inside an app (e.g. vi/m) was buffered by the app and not the OS?

npm run is not safe! What’s to stop anyone from adding sudo commands to package.json?

Hi Rich, I’m dad.

For clarification: they will only remove the tile, not the copilot app. They state it’s non-removable, and say it’s not a service that runs.

However, my concern is what is to stop Microsoft (or LG) from enabling it in the future?

The point isn’t whether it’s needed or not. It’s not about space or features. The point is that a major player made a design decision and bucked the system. And while there may still be some phones with audio jacks, the majority of mainstream phones don’t. That major player is still successful, and other companies followed suit.

Can we agree this is what should happen to HDMI. No?

🤦‍♂️

There would be uproar, but like the audio jack on phones people would come around. All it would take is one big enough company to pull it off, and the rest would follow.

This wouldn’t work to scale. If Valve paid to license the spec for the Linux kernel, it would have to pay for every person who downloaded the driver, which is far more than the amount of people who buy the Steam Cube.

Unless of course you’re suggesting that the kernel driver for the new spec become closed source.

Using AI as a tool like any other is fine. It’s the blind trust that it can do everything for you that is problematic (not to mention the fact people hide the fact that something “they created” is AI). Just like with any other computer system: garbage in, garbage out.

I haven’t used Twitter in so many years (long before that shithead stepped through the doors holding a sink). 🤷‍♂️

Those comments. 🤮
